Providing a concise and accessible overview of the design, implementation and management of medical software, this textbook will equip students with a solid understanding of critical considerations for both standalone medical software (software as a medical device/SaMD) and software that is integrated into hardware devices. It includes: practical discussion of key regulatory documents and industry standards, and how these translate into concrete considerations for medical software design; detailed coverage of the medical software lifecycle process ; accessible introduction to quality and risk management systems in the context of medical software; succinct coverage of essential topics in data science, machine learning, statistics, cybersecurity, software engineering and healthcare bring readers up-to-speed; six cautionary real-world case studies illustrate the dangers of improper or careless software processes. Accompanied by online resources for instructors, this is the ideal introduction for undergraduate students in biomedical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science, junior software engineers, and digital health entrepreneurs.

  • Reviews key regulatory statements to ensure students understand the role of regulation in medical software development
  • Focuses on the enabling activities that support programmers in producing high-quality medical software, rather than specific programming scenarios
  • Cautionary case studies illustrate the consequences of poor design to students
